A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count-Based Risk Mitigation Tool. [PDF]
Risk AnalABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these

Bill Length of Non-breeding Shorebirds Influences the Water Depth Preferences for Foraging in the West Coast of India. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBody size, bill length and shape determine the foraging techniques, habitat selection and diet among shorebirds. In this study, water depth preferences of different shorebirds with different bill sizes in various habitats were investigated between 2017 and 2020.

Coastal Shorebirds Delay Maturity More Than Inland Ones. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMigratory shorebirds frequenting coastal non‐breeding habitats delay maturity, as expressed in the age of first return migration, more than the species using inland freshwater habitats. ABSTRACT Delaying the age of first breeding will lower lifetime reproductive output unless compensated for by increased fecundity or survival.

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow‐rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan. Our data is useful in providing insights into how landscape heterogeneity, cropland composition, and seasonal dynamics influence bird diversity in snowy ...

Birds of Berlin: Changes in communities and guilds in the urban park "Tiergarten" since 1850. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstract Urbanization has far‐reaching consequences on birds, and knowledge of the impacts on taxonomic and functional diversity is necessary to make cities as compatible as possible for species. Avian diversity in parks in urban centers has been investigated multiple times, but rarely so in long‐term studies due to lacking data.

Faeces, Feathers and Flight: Understanding of Escape Behaviour in Incubating Eurasian Woodcocks (<i>Scolopax rusticola</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing a large dataset of nest photographs from open‐source platforms, we investigated defecation and fright moulting in incubating Eurasian woodcocks (Scolopax rusticola), finding defecation in 54% of nests and feathers in 67%. We suggest these behaviours may aid the female's escape rather than protect the nest, and highlight the importance of ...

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers
Ibis, EarlyView.Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...
